Malti said, “Yes, sometimes it happens. Once or twice, people may try their luck. People here are very smart. They understand your nature and your body language. One or two people crossed the line, one even misbehaved, but most understood my boundaries.”
The shocking incident
Recalling the specific incident with the filmmaker, Malti revealed that she used to meet him frequently in connection with a project. Once the work was completed, she hugged him from the side as a polite gesture. “In return, he tried to kiss me on the lips,” she said. Malti described her reaction: “I froze. I didn’t understand what had just happened. I immediately stopped him and never met him again. I considered him like a father figure. That incident taught me a lesson – never put anyone on a pedestal. Be cautious of everyone. I never imagined someone of that age could behave like that. I was extremely angry.”`
This experience left Malti shocked but also more aware of personal boundaries and the need to be vigilant in the industry. She emphasized that while some people do cross lines, respecting boundaries is crucial in professional settings.
